Create a dictionary with list comprehension

Question

I like the Python list comprehension syntax.

Can it be used to create dictionaries too? For example, by iterating over pairs of keys and values:

mydi         


        

Answer 1

Python version < 2.7_{^{(RIP, 3 July 2010 - 31 December 2019)}}, do the below:

d = dict((i,True) for i in [1,2,3])

Python version >= 2.7, do the below:

d = {i: True for i in [1,2,3]}
